Best way to clean a mega atty or type b atty for the ego? Can it be submerged in water? Or just blow it out? Looking for some tips.

If you're not having a drop in performance I'd advise not cleaning. If you're having a drop in performance - or trying to get rid of a strong flavor.... see Rolygate's library piece here:

... while that is aimed at handling primer taste, the "how to fix it" part is good for general cleaning as well. The only caveat I'd add is while he mentions cola, if you want to try that, use diet cola since the sugar in cola would not be good for the atomizer, and that was not really part of his 'how to fix it' instructs. I use cheap but clear and unflavored 151 vodka and that works well and you won't have the drying problems you might get using water and it is still for human consumption. And yes it can be submerged in the vodka, just blow it out and let it dry. If you do a soak, don't go over 10-15 minutes - too much soaking can mess with the wicking - make it wad up, etc.
